After we get our work permit ? My first name means penis in english so when I was in high school everyone made fun of my name and laughed and the worst thing is some of my teachers made fun of it too . I had to deal with depression because of this in high school and after knowing that I was illegal I attempted to commit suicide. This might sound like a very small problem to u guys hub to me it is a serious problem. Imagine ur first name meant penis..... -___- i told one of my friends about this and he said I should go to a local court in my area and he said they will be able to change my name legally only in my state but they have no right to change the name of a person from another country.

I had a friend who got her workpermit and changed her name. She didn't like her Indian name and wanted to blend in with the non-Indian Friends. Whatever.. So yeah, she got it done. She does not have her GC. She only had work permit for few years..think that's expired now too.

I would google requirements for changing name in your state. Perhaps that should answer your questions. Hope that helps!

You can however make sure your passport reflects it.
